Carl’s 79th birthday was the perfect reason to surprise him not only with photos similar to those of his participation in Playboy, but also with a performance of songs dressed as a bunny. The singer shared a video where she wears her iconic look and explains the reason for this surprise.
“Today is July 20. It’s my husband Carl’s birthday and you’re probably wondering why I’m dressed like this, and it’s just because it’s my husband’s birthday. Do you remember that some time ago I said that I was going to pose for Playboy magazine when I was 75 years old? Well, I’m 75 years old and they no longer have a magazine. But my husband always liked the original Playboy cover, so he was thinking of doing something to make him happy. He still thinks I’m a hot girl after 57 years [of marriage], and I’m not going to try to dissuade him from that.
Actually, we don’t know what Carl’s reaction was, since at the end of the video only the back of his head can be seen while Dolly shows him the box where the original Playboy cover and the new photo look. However, he was most likely very grateful for his birthday surprise.
